We booked plane tickets with easyJet but when we got on flight our row didn’t exist
Willie Walsh, the director-general of the International Air Transport Association, an industry trade group said: "The airlines will continue to do everything they can to keep costs in control as much as possible for the benefit of consumers.
"But I think it’s unrealistic to expect that airlines can continue to absorb all of the costs. ... It's not something we like to do, but it's something we have to do."In addition, there aren't enough new aircraft to expand routes and keep up with supply to bring the overall prices down. The International Air Transport Association warned that global airline revenue is estimated to reach nearly a trillion pounds in 2024, a record high.
A whopping 4.96 billion travellers are expected to fly this year with total expenses for airlines reaching a record high of £736billion.Tim Clark, the airline's president said he is shocked at where ticket prices are today.Yvonne Manzi Makolo, the CEO of RwandAir, also highlighted the taxes and fees imposed on airlines by the countries they operate in.
